Wishing Since Forever by Kiltie Jackson

 

Having just finished my second Kiltie Jackson novel, I find myself utterly devastated that this marks the end of the series. Jackson's storytelling weaves such vivid emotional connections that I’m completely invested in the characters and their journeys—saying goodbye feels like losing close friends. Remarkably, this book can stand confidently on its own; I hadn’t realised it was tied to the second in the series until I looked it up later, which speaks volumes about the seamless narrative and depth.

 

When Flora’s father moves in with his girlfriend, leaving Flora the family home, she seizes the chance to make it truly her own. But as she clears out her father’s room, she uncovers a hidden trove of letters and gifts from her late grandmother—tokens of love kept out of reach. The painful discovery leaves Flora feeling robbed of a vital bond, compelling her to escape to the Scottish haven her grandmother left her. Meanwhile, Dr Kenneth, drawn by an advert for a GP post near his childhood home, returns to Scotland to start anew. His initial clash with Flora hints at sparks of tension, but as fate would have it, the frost between them slowly thaws—until an unexpected turn of events threatens to upend the fragile connection they’ve built.

 

For readers who enjoy character-driven stories with heart, humour, magic and emotional resonance, this is a must-read. Just be prepared to miss the characters once the final page is turned.
